When the drawer-typecartridge cabin 37 is received in the bottom cap 3, an outer side faceof the drawer-type cartridge cabin 37 and a side face opposite to theside face 33 of the bottom cap are roughly in the same plane. Moreover,the two drawer-type cartridge cabins 35 and 37 are independent of eachother. When received in the bottom cap 3, the drawer-type cartridgecabins 35 and 37 are isolated from each other and are not connected toeach other.

FIG. 3 is a three-dimensional schematic exploded view of an embodimentof a carrying case used for an electronic cigarette and a cartridgethereof according to the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 3, an end part 25of the top cap 2 is provided with an end cap 251, and two end capmagnets 231 and 232 are disposed at the end part 25 of the top cap 2through the end cap 251, where the magnet 231 is positioned closer tothe side 21 of the top cap 2, and the magnet 232 is positioned closer toanother side 22 opposite to the side 21 of the top cap 2. Another endpart 26 of the top cap 2 is provided with an end cap 261, where the endpart 26 is opposite to the end part 25, two end cap magnets 233 and 234are disposed at the end part 26 of the top cap 2 through the end cap261, the magnet 233 is positioned closer to the side 21 of the top cap2, and the magnet 234 is positioned closer to another side 22 oppositeto the side 21 of the top cap 2. In addition, the top cap 2 is providedwith two pivot holes 211 on the side 21.

A rotating shaft bracket 45 is disposed in the bottom cap 3, and isfixed to the bottom cap 3 by screws. The rotating shaft bracket 45includes two pivot holes 451, and when the rotating shaft bracket 45 isfixedly disposed in the bottom cap 3, the two pivot holes 451 aresubstantially located at the side 31 of the bottom cap. Two rotatingshafts 452 respectively pass through the pivot holes 211 located at theside 21 of the top cap 2 and the pivot holes 451 located at the side 31of the bottom cap 3, and therefore the side 21 of the top cap 2 ispivotally connected to the side 31 of the bottom cap 3.

A bottom cap bracket 34 may be disposed at an end part 38 of the bottomcap 3, and two bottom cap bracket magnets 331 and 332 are disposed inthe bottom cap bracket 34. When the bottom cap bracket 34 and the bottomcap 3 are combined with each other, the two bottom cap bracket magnets331 and 332 are positioned at the end part 38 of the bottom cap 3, wherethe magnet 331 is positioned closer to the side 31 of the bottom cap 3,and the magnet 332 is positioned closer to another side 32 opposite tothe side 31 of the bottom cap 3. In addition, the bottom cap bracket 34includes an opening 335. Another bottom cap bracket 36 may be disposedat another end part 39 opposite to the end part 38 of the bottom cap 3,and two bottom cap bracket magnets 333 and 334 are disposed in thebottom cap bracket 36. When the bottom cap bracket 36 and the bottom cap3 are combined with each other, the two bottom cap bracket magnets 333and 334 are positioned at the end part 39 of the bottom cap 3, where themagnet 333 is positioned closer to the side 31 of the bottom cap 3, andthe magnet 334 is positioned closer to another side 32 opposite to theside 31 of the bottom cap 3. In addition, the bottom cap bracket 36includes an opening (not shown).

As described before, the cartridge cabin 35 is disposed in the bottomcap 3 through the opening 335. Further referring to FIG. 3, thecartridge cabin 35 is connected to a switching mechanism 353, and isfurther disposed in the bottom cap 3 through the bottom cap bracket 34.In other words, the cartridge cabin 35 is connected to the bottom capbracket 34 through the switching mechanism 353, and the switchingmechanism 353 may control the cartridge cabin 35 to be ejected from thebottom cap 3 or be received in the bottom cap 3. The switching mechanism353 may be a PUSH-PUSH type mechanism. When a user wants to receive thecartridge cabin 35 in the bottom cap 3, the user may push the cartridgecabin 35 to move toward the bottom cap 3 through the opening 335, andwhen the cartridge cabin 35 is fully received in the bottom cap 3, theswitching mechanism 353 may clamp the cartridge cabin 35, so that thecartridge cabin 35 does not slide out of the opening 335 of the bottomcap 3. When the user wants to remove the cartridge cabin 35 from thebottom cap, the user may press the cartridge cabin 35, so that theswitching mechanism 353 may release the cartridge cabin 35 and eject thecartridge cabin 35 from the opening 335 for a distance, and the user mayfurther remove the cartridge cabin 35 from the bottom cap 3.

Similarly, the cartridge cabin 37 is disposed in the bottom cap 3through an opening (not shown) on another side of the bottom cap 3.Further referring to FIG. 3, the cartridge cabin 37 is connected to aswitching mechanism 355, and is further disposed in the bottom cap 3through the bottom cap bracket 36. In other words, the cartridge cabin37 is connected to the bottom cap bracket 34 through the switchingmechanism 355, and the switching mechanism 355 may control the cartridgecabin 37 to be ejected from the bottom cap 3 or be received in thebottom cap 3. The switching mechanism 355 may be a PUSH-PUSH typemechanism. When the user wants to receive the cartridge cabin 37 in thebottom cap 3, the user may push the cartridge cabin 37 to move towardthe bottom cap 3 through the opening, and when the cartridge cabin 37 isfully received in the bottom cap 3, the switching mechanism 355 mayclamp the cartridge cabin 37, so that the cartridge cabin 37 does notslide out of the opening of the bottom cap 3. When the user wants toremove the cartridge cabin 37 from the bottom cap, the user may pressthe cartridge cabin 37, so that the switching mechanism 355 may releasethe cartridge cabin 37 and eject the cartridge cabin 37 from the openingfor a distance, and the user may further remove the cartridge cabin 37from the bottom cap 3.

A silicone lining 41 may be disposed in the bottom cap 3 to be receivedin the space defined by the top cap 2 and the bottom cap 3, therebyavoiding damage to the appearance of the electronic cigarette placed inthe space due to a direct collision with an inner surface of the top cap2 or the bottom cap 3. Two top cap buffer foams 42 may also be disposedin the space, for example, disposed on an inner surface of the top cap2, thereby preventing the electronic cigarette placed in the space fromshaking with the carrying case 1. In addition, another two cartridgebuffer foams 43 are respectively disposed on inner surfaces of thecartridge cabins 35, 37, thereby avoiding shaking of the cartridgeplaced in the cartridge cabins 35, 37 from shaking with the carryingcase 1.

In addition, as described above, when the cartridge cabins 35 and 37 arereceived in the bottom cap 3, are isolated from each other, and are notconnected to each other. Therefore, if cartridges of different flavorsare stored in the cartridge cabins 35 and 37, because the cartridgecabins 35 and 37 are isolated from each other and are not connected toeach other, the problem of taint of odor does not occur.

FIG. 4A is a schematic sectional view taken along A-A of FIG. 1B. FIG.4A clearly shows the end cap magnets 231, 232 disposed at the end part25 of the top cap 2, and the bottom cap bracket magnets 331, 332disposed at the end part 38 of the bottom cap 3.

FIG. 11A to FIG. 11C are schematic diagrams of a top cap and a bottomcap of a carrying case being closed with each other according to anembodiment of the disclosure, and particularly, the figures show how themetal components 630, 640 that magnetically attract each other and themetal components 730, 740 that magnetically attract each other assistthe top cap 6 and the bottom cap 7 in closing with each other. When theuser wants to close the top cap 6 with the bottom cap 7 and there isstill a large angle between the top cap 6 and the bottom cap 7(referring to FIG. 11A), no magnetic attractive force can be generatedby the metal component 630 (640) and the metal component 730 (740), andthe end cap 6 is unable to be automatically closed with the bottom cap7. When the top cap 6 is pivoted to be at an angle to the bottom cap 7(referring to FIG. 6B), the metal component 630 (640) and the metalcomponent 730 (740) generate an attractive force with each other, andthe attractive force pushes the end cap 6 to be automatically furtherclosed with the bottom cap 7 (as shown in FIG. 6C).
